Atlantis this week is all about the parental relationships, appropriately enough for an episode entitled “Kin”. While Icarus keeps on digging himself a betrayal hole trying to keep his father alive, Jason’s getting fought over by Aeson and Pasiphae. It’s Atlantis coming down firmly on the nature side of the nature vs nurture debate; it doesn’t matter what kind of upbringing Jason’s had, what matters is whether he follows his mother into darkness or his father back out into the light.
